India, Nov. 9 -- The White House executive mansion was briefly placed under lockdown on Monday morning after an individual crashed a vehicle into a park just north of the White House, according to the Daily Mail.

The incident reportedly occurred around 10 a.m. EDT. The U.S. Secret Service instructed most reporters at the White House to move indoors and remain there temporarily as a precaution.

It remains unclear whether the crash was intentional or accidental. Authorities have yet to confirm further details surrounding the incident.
